Hyphenated Techniques in Chromatography (HTC-13) (January 29–31 2014)
HTC-13
The HTC-13 (January 29-31, 2014) programme features state-of-the-art lectures, tutorials, keynote and oral presentations encompassing fundamental chromatographic developments and application areas. An emphasis will be placed on oil and petrochemicals during sessions organized by the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC). Other areas of interest are computational chromatography and life sciences, new data-treatment methods, metabolomics, green hyphenated chromatography, natural products and hyphenated electro-driven systems. Instrument and equipment vendors will display their latest systems in the large exhibition space which is integrated with catering and presentations of shortlisted posters. Several awards will be presented including the Lifetime Achievement Award and the HTC-award for the most innovative paper or poster.
To encourage scientific exchange and friendship building, a welcome party, reception at the historical Town Hall, beer degustation evening, symposium dinner and a farewell cocktail reception will be held. Short courses are organized on January 28 on capillary electrophoresis, gas chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatography troubleshooting and advanced mass spectrometry.
The 3rd International Symposium on Hyphenated Techniques for Sample Preparation (HTSP-3) will be held alongside HTC-13 on January 28-29, 2014. The HTSP meeting is a strong programme in its own right, with a number of experts from around the world as invited speakers. Participants of HTSP will be able to catch a glimpse of some of the HTC-13 lectures and posters - and vice versa.

The Complexity of Oligonucleotide Separations
January 9th 2025Peter Pellegrinelli, Applications Specialist at Advanced Materials Technology (AMT) explains the complexity of oligonucleotide separations due to the unique chemical properties of these molecules. Issues such as varying length, sequence complexity, and hydrophilic-hydrophobic characteristics make efficient separations difficult. Separation scientists are addressing these challenges by modifying mobile phase compositions, using varying ion-pairing reagents, and exploring alternative separation modes like HILIC and ion-exchange chromatography. Due to these complexities, AMT has introduced the HALO® OLIGO column, which offers high-resolution, fast separations through its innovative Fused-Core® technology and high pH stability. Alongside explaining the new column, Peter looks to the future of these separations and what is next to come.
Metabolomics Analysis of Low Birth-Weight Infants Using UHPLC-MS/MS Following Lipid Emulsion
January 10th 2025A recent study aimed to directly compare the changes in serum metabolites among very low birth-rate (VLBW) infants following the administration of the soybean oil-based lipid emulsion and soybean oil, medium-chain triglycerides, olive oil, and fish oil (SMOF) lipid emulsion using untargeted metabolomics techniques.
Analyzing New Drug Modalities: An ISC 2024 Interview with Kelly Zhang
January 10th 2025At ISC 2024 in Liverpool, United Kingdom, LCGC International interviewed Kelly Zhang of Genentech about her work analyzing new drug modalities, such as mRNA, oligonucleotides, peptides, and cell and gene therapies.
